Seafloor Samples Laboratory

该奖项为世界卫生组织海底样品实验室正在进行的策展活动提供资金。该资料库向海洋科学家的国际受众提供设施和服务，并向海洋科学界提供从气候历史到岩石学再到构造学等各种研究领域的样本。该储存库还提供对完整记录、描述和数字化的岩心和岩石样本的即时访问，并不断向集合中添加新的材料和数据。除了管理和分发样品外，该储存库还参与向学生和其他非科学家介绍样品收集和样品获取过程的外联活动。

This award funds ongoing curatorial activities at the WHOI Sea Floor Samples laboratory. This repository provides facilities and services to an international audience of marine scientists, and provides the marine science community with samples for a diversity of research areas ranging from climate history to petrology to tectonics. The repository also provides immediate access to fully documented, described, and digitized core and rock samples, and new material and data are continually added to the collection. In addition to curation and sample distribution, the repository is involved in outreach activities that introduce students and other non-scientists to the collection and to sample acquisition processes.
